    players picking up the limited edition of the modern-day Medal of Honor reboot on October 12, with a beta invite for DICE's highly anticipated Battlefield 3 in every package.

    We've heard nary a peep regarding Battlefield 3 since EA COO John Pleasants mentioned it back in June of 2009. All we've known since then is that the game is in development.

    Now we know a sure-fire way to get into the beta.

    Along with some extra weapons and a remastered version of Medal of Honor: Frontline (exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version), picking up the $59.99 limited edition of Medal of Honor ensures players a spot in the Battlefield 3 beta test, which should happen within twelve months of Medal of Honor's release, according to the EA beta website.

    Nope, keys are only delivered near the launch of the beta...

    Excellent graphics, works good @60 FPS Vsync'd on my P4 OC @4.5GHz, with teflon cooling system. My Gpu is the 6600 GO OC'd about 50%. Good thing the new drivers allow my system to take this abuse of course, I recc you guys to join my xfire game and we can play the cross-platform beta, and those with MOH can play by inputting bar code on psn systems via Ps3 console or the infamous xlive console with gold membership.Game is crisp @ 1920X4000 :D
